Unlike synthetic fabrics like chemical rich nylon and polyester that can irritate a baby or toddler's delicate young skin, organic cotton's natural properties ensure clean and gentle exposure on sensitive skin.

Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester shed up to 500,000 tons of microplastics globally per year into the ocean from consumer home wash and dry cycles. They are eaten by sealife, then ultimately, consumed by humans.

The National Library of Medicine's 2020 report found that microplastics leach chemicals in human body tissues that act as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), or toxicants that imitate hormones when they enter the body. These EDCs are associated with hormonal cancers (breast, prostate, testes), reproductive problems (genital malformations, infertility), metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity), asthma, and neurodevelopmental conditions.

Several scientific studies and life cycle analyses have concluded that organic production methods significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use less energy.

According to Green Story, organic cotton emits 78% less carbon emissions compared to polyester and 91% less compared to nylon. In addition, organic cotton fiber biodegrades in about six months, whereas synthetic fiber takes hundreds of years.

The textile sustainability nonprofit Textile Exchange conducted a Life Cycle Analysis study on organic cotton suggesting that, in specific conditions tested, organic cotton consumed 88 percent less water than conventional cotton.
